Notes:

From T. Moody via email: "My grandmother Lula Katherine Durham was born September 23, 1871, in the eastern part of Orange County, North Carolina. She was third eldest of eight children (three girls, five boys) born to James Samuel Durham (1842-1895) and Harriet Deliah Stroud (1844-1913). James, a master carpenter, was the son of Alvis (1806-1881) and Catherine (1816-1883) Durham. Alvis, a wagon maker, and his first wife Susan Faucett Durham joined with eight other neighbors from Cane Creek Baptist Church in Orange County to found the Mars Hill Baptist Church, north of Hillsborough, on June 29, 1834. Susan died in November, 1837, and on October 31, 1838, Alvis married Catherine, the daughter of Gilbert (1792-1847) and Sarah (1794-1859) Strayhorn. Alvis and Catherine, in turn, went with several other families to found Mount Hermon Baptist Church, nearer the town of Durham, on June 24, 1848. Alvis served as the church clerk at its founding and helped purchase the property for the first church. I recall going to homecoming Sundays, with dinner on the grounds, at Mount Hermon. Alvis and Catherine had at least two other children, Sarah, born in 1849, and Martha, in 1854, and Alvis served as a Justice of the Peace in Orange County. In 1881, Durham County was created from Little River, Lebanon, Patterson, and Durham townships in eastern Orange County. Alvis and Catherine are buried at Antioch Baptist Church west of Chapel Hill."   Alvis served as a Justice of the Peace in Orange County. Alvis and Catharine are buried at Antioch Cemetery, White Cross, OranNC. For Alvis' marriage to Susanna Thomas Faucett was the bondsman. For Catherine, it was Jno. (John) Faucett.
